Connecticut Greens Annual Convention
The Green Party of Connecticut held its annual convention on Saturday,
April 26, 2008 in New Haven. Green Party members elected new
officers and voted their preference for a presidential
candidate. Delegates to the Green National Convention will
be apportioned according to this vote.

since 1988. For more views, read "Dispelling the Myth of Election 2000:
